I would suggest getting a virus program such as AVG from Grisoft. They have a free version available. It works great. It will detect any virus you might have and heal any it can. Those it can't heal, either turn off system restore or for some you can remove with an alternate program that AVG has developed:
To remove I would suggest visiting the following URL from Grisoft/AVG: grisoft.com
I would suggest following its instructions to the letter. If you do, you can then run AVG again and the Virus will have disappeared.
Good Luck!
Every computer could have a virus but if you use your computer carefully it can be impossible for the virus to come to your computer.
A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user.

A virus causes an infection. It is the actual file that causes the infection. An infection itself is the action or state of the computer's security being compromised by a virus or other malware.
Use a virus removal tool like Spybot Search & Destroy...duhhhhh.
All computer viruses are harmful I never heard of a computer virus that isn't harmful. Because every time your computer revives one it always slows your computer.

Viruses are computer programs intentionally created by douchebags, to ruin your computer, usually for no good reason. When you download software or media files from really any source, a virus could be hidden in it and that's how it gets on your computer.
Anti virus software is useful, because it protects your computer from getting infected by a computer virus. Moreover, most software will reduce the damage a virus can do to your computer. Mind you, the protection is not 100 %. New viruses come out every minute, so your computer may still be infected before the anti virus software recognizes the virus and is able to remove it.
Getting rid of computer viruses can be a tedious task. Not every anti virus software is able to detect every computer virus. The best thing to do is to scan your computer using a few different virus scanners. Fortunately, there are free virus scanners available for download. Check out Avast! Anti virus, Avira AntiVir Personal Edition, Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG Antivirus Free Edition.
Yes, you always want to have some kind of virus software for your computer. If you dont your computer will be crashed within days. Once you purchase virus software you'll have to update it every year.
